MarketResearch.com has added a new report, The World Market for Advanced Microscopes, done by Future Markets, to its series of market reports on medical devices.
Due to growing demands for refined, high-resolution, and high-precision imagery among the existing version of microscopes available in the new markets, electron and scanning probe microscope’s worldwide market is reported to go beyond US$2.1 billion in its total sales per year by 2017.
The increased demand for these microscopes will be enhanced by advancement in technologies applied in several applications and functionalities including manufacture of semiconductors and electronic devices, biomedical and pharmaceutical industry, MEMS, nanomaterials and nanotechnology R&D centers, and several commercial industries.
Global recession created an adverse effect on the industry, particularly in the semiconductors manufacturing companies that are regarded as the biggest consumer of sophisticated microscopes. However, growth was reported in the healthcare and life sciences field. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) have increased demand in the growing microscopic market.
Asia-Pacific and USA serve as major regional markets for electron and scanning probe microscopes. Asia-Pacific shows a rapid market growth with increased sales in China and Japan as well as in the upcoming Indian market.
Due to increased funding for nanotechnology and nanomaterials R&D centers and technical infrastructure, Russia and Brazil will occupy a prominent place in the microscopic market. Increased research work in the fields of semiconductors, life sciences and electronics also enhance the increasing demand for microscopes.
